Did You Know One Good Meal Has The Power To Satisfy You Twice?

Who isn’t a fan of a good hearty meal? There’s more to a meal that satiates you than just the satisfaction it gives to your taste buds.

Recent research suggests that our brain rewards our brain twice per meal; once when we eat and once when the food reaches our stomach.

A satisfying meal stimulates the release of the feel-good hormone, dopamine twice, reveals the study published in the journal Cell Metabolism.

"With the help of a new positron emission tomography (PET) technique we developed, we were not only able to find the two peaks of dopamine release, but we could also identify the specific brain regions that were associated with these releases," said senior author Marc Tittgemeyer, Head of the Max Planck Institute for Metabolism Research in Germany, reported IANS.
